Patient Records in the NHS
Salford Royal…….
• Results Viewing • Electronic ordering• Recording of
allergies and significant events
• Clinic letters• Clinical
Documentation
• Electronic Prescribing
• Medication Administration
• Recording of Diagnosis & Procedures
• Immediate Discharge Summary
Functionality Currently Available
• Started in 1998• Quality Improvement (QI) was a hospital priority,• Clinical quality performance monitoring data to support QI was
becoming unsupportable despite investment in 80 independent, specialty specific, stand-alone clinical systems
• GPs were dissatisfied with the content, legibility and timeliness of discharge summaries
• Management of patients admitted as emergencies was compromised by delays in access to their records
• Reinforced by two Institute of Medicine publications ‘To Err is Human’ and ‘Crossing the Quality Chasm’ and by visits to successful EPR implementations in the USA
The Salford EPR Journey….
• 7000 current active users• 200 users concurrently logged in• 160 GPs at 55 surgeries have access across
Salford• 28,000 records accessed daily• One complete record• 1 Million Patient Records• 100 Million Diagnostic Results• 2.3 Million Pharmacy Orders
Salford Royal EPR
• Current system 10 years old and used to optimum benefit
• No further developments being made on the system
• Senior Leaders could see more potential
• Demand for new Capability
• Demand for improved usability
• Needed a new system to serve us well into future and has potential for future innovation, eg patient portals
• Above all – better and safer for patients, who can be confident their records are being held in one central, secure location
The Next Stage of the Journey………………
• Went out to Procurement on12th August 2011
• Preferred Bidder Selected December 2011
• 12 Months of preparation and migration of over 1 million patient records!
• Trained 7000 users!
• Phase 1 Big Bang Go-Live 8th June 2013!
The Next Stage
EPR Benefits – Legibility/Reduction in errors (Drug Charts)
EPR Benefits – Legibility/Reduction in errors (Drug Charts)
• Increased Legibility
• Reduced Dose Errors due to predetermined dosages
• Control of certain drugs
• Rapid Identification of new patients and new drugs items
by Pharmacists
• Timely Medication Administration
• Corrections to drug charts can be made remotely
• Loss of Drug charts has been abolished
• Reduced transcription errors when re-writing drug charts
Prescribing & Medication Errors: Benefits
EPR Benefits – Secondary Use of Information (Waterlow Scores)
EPR Benefits – Secondary Use of Information (Waterlow Scores)
EPR Benefits – Secondary Use of Information (Waterlow Scores)
Anytime! Anywhere! Concurrently!
This has allowed us to:• Offer remote Site Clinics for Tertiary Services• Multidisciplinary Record• Removed issues with lost notes and embarrassing
consultations• Enhanced GP Communication• Email patients• Complete Clinical Coding directly from the electronic
record
EPR Benefits – Availability of Information
• Informed/Personalised Consultations• Patients Spend Less time repeating information• Supports Patient Education• More time with Patients• Remote Consultation
Patient Interaction
• More effective, multidisciplinary ward rounds
• Virtual Ward (ward rounds)• Opportunity for senior oversight remotely• Guided practise – Pre–Set dosages,
clinical guidelines• Education tool with patients
EPR Benefits – Changes in Clinical Practice
• Base Infrastructure platform – PCs, Network etc
• Integration – The EPR never stands alone
• Performance & Reliability• Support• Conflicting priorities for development• IT Resource to Support
Lessons - IT
• Senior Organisation support is essential• Quick wins/benefits breed adoption –
Results reporting as first function• User Driven Gradualism• Keep it simple• One size does not always fit all• Training & IT Skills of staff are essential
Lessons – Adoption & Implementation
• Take the enthusiasts with you but don’t forget about the rest.
• Electrifying paper is not enough• Customisation has is benefits and also
its challenges• Departmental systems v.s. greater good.
• Expectation increase. Continuous
development is required
